Chapter 567 I want to be a hero
Bai Muban came to Village Chief Zhao's house, but Village Chief Zhao was not at home.
"I'm going to the county." The village chief's daughter-in-law said.
"What, sister-in-law, I'll be here when the village chief comes." Bai Muban said and stood up.
Bai Muban walked out of the village chief's house again, and when he passed by the entrance of the village, he saw a group of people chattering under the big tree, and there seemed to be the shadow of the village chief.
"I'm afraid that there will be more grain collection this autumn." Village Chief Zhao dropped a bomb in the gossip group at the entrance of the village.
Food is the life of the villagers, but anything related to food can always cause discussion among the villagers.
"Why? It's not just summer, doesn't it mean that autumn is not levied? ”
"How much is it going to take? My family had a good harvest year. ”
"Is it possible to see this year's bumper harvest? That's not as good as last year's disaster year, and last year's disaster year still gave out food. ”
The crowd exploded!
Village Chief Zhao waved his hand and hoped that everyone would be quiet, but it didn't work at all, and everyone couldn't listen to it at all.
"Village Chief, is the news reliable?" Someone asked.
Village Chief Zhao nodded and said, "Although Zhang County's order didn't say it explicitly, I guess it's almost inseparable." ”
"Because of what?" Someone asked again.
Village Chief Zhao motioned for everyone to be quiet, frowned and said: "This is not a complaint, the grain levied in the summer is the military ration for the border, who knows that it was robbed when it was almost at the border." Now that the border war is tight, how can there be a war without food, so we have to requisition food. ”
"If you are robbed and don't care about our business, why let us fight."
"That is, is it easy for us to work hard to farm?"
Someone was disgruntled and said loudly.
"We don't die if we work hard to farm, and the soldiers on the border will die in battle." Village Chief Zhao was worried about this, and continued, "Bai Zhaomei in our village is still at the border, I got gossip that the border is now short of food, and it is very ......."
Bai Muban leaned over and heard the voice of Village Chief Zhao and leaned over.
Hearing Village Chief Zhao mention his fifth child, Bai Muban's heart was panicked!
"Brother Bai, you're here."
When the villagers saw the white planks, their faces were full of sympathy.
If it is really as the village chief said, the grain transported to the border has been robbed, and the soldiers at the border are starving, then Bai Zhaomei is not suffering.
There are such jealous people who think in their hearts, in the summer, Bai Zhaomei was just celebrated to be promoted to centurion, and in the autumn, it is difficult to even take back the level of the person.
There are a lot of sons in the old Bai family, but I don't want any son to be folded outside.
Bai Muban nodded at Village Chief Zhao and said, "Village Chief, I have something to do with you." ”
Village Chief Zhao left behind the villagers' discussions and walked towards the village with a white plank.
"Brother Bai, you heard what I just said. However, it is true that the grain transported to the border has been robbed, and Zhang County Ling said that even Lord Liu is at a loss now. I'm not worried about the autumn grain collection now, I'm worried about what happens to your fifth child. Village Chief Zhao said anxiously.
"My fifth child won't have anything in case." Bai Muban was very dissatisfied with Village Chief Zhao's wording, and the fifth child in his family was covered by the fortune of his daughter, so it was good.
Curse whom?
"Isn't this a border situation where anything can happen? Isn't this my concern for the old five? Village Chief Zhao realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurried to make amends.
"Brother Bai, I don't think you're worried at all? Do you know the inside story? Village Chief Zhao asked, pulling the white plank.
The fifth child of the Bai family is the quasi-nephew and son-in-law of the prefect, maybe the Bai family already knew that the border grain had been robbed.
"I do already know." Bai Muban was very honest with Village Chief Zhao.
"Did the prefect know about it?" Village Chief Zhao asked.
"No, my daughter dreamed of it." Bai Muban said seriously.
Village Chief Zhao: "......"
Okay, your daughter, there's no way to do it, but why isn't this person worried at all, the fifth child of the Bai family is at the border.
As everyone knows, Baiplank has already been worried, and knows that it is useless to worry, and it is important to actively look for solutions.
"Our family has discussed....... boss went to the border to transport grain, not only to save Lao Wu, but also to save General Meng Xie Xiaolian Wu Xiaoying and their ......" Bai Muban told Village Chief Zhao about his plan.
After listening to this, Village Chief Zhao asked rhetorically, "What did Xiao Yuanbao say?" Approve of her eldest brother going to the border? ”
Bai Muban nodded and said, "My daughter agrees." ”
Village Chief Zhao was silent for a long time, and said: "I also watched the fifth child grow up, and he was saved!" General Meng was kind to children and enthusiastic to the elderly when he was in our village, and it was not easy for him to guard the border all the time. and Wu Xiaoying, Xie Xiaolian, are in the village on weekdays, and I treat them as juniors. If we can save it, we can save it, this grain transportation is not only your family's business, but our village's business. ”
Village Chief Zhao is very refreshing!
"Now that the autumn harvest is about to be over, I asked a few strong laborers in the village to go with Da Zhuang. I don't worry about others in this matter, but I can still trust the boys in our village. Village Chief Zhao said.
Bai Muban was moved for a while and shook Fa Xiao's hand.
The village chief was willing to come forward to persuade the village to sell him grain, and he was very grateful, but he did not expect the village chief to take over the matter of transporting grain to the border.
"Those sons and daughters of the border army are also other people's sons, and people's hearts are all flesh and blood, so we have to transport this grain." Village Chief Zhao said, "Do you remember when we were young, the people on the grassland came to loot and burn, and now General Meng is guarding the border, so we don't have to be afraid every day." If it can't be kept, Xiao Yuanbao's generation will have to suffer. ”
Such a nightmarish memory, Bai Muban naturally remembers.
"We're also for ourselves." Bai Muban said, "But the food can't be given to the people in the village for free, you have to listen to me about this, and my family pays for it." ”
"That's fine." Village Chief Zhao readily agreed.
Soon, Village Chief Zhao convened a meeting of the villagers at the private school.
The situation at the border is roughly explained.
The central point of view is that we should go and deliver food to the soldiers on the border.
“…… Okay, go, I'll go with Big Strong. ”
"Brother Bolt followed Sanzhuang to the sea, my father won't let me go, this time I'm going to the border with Brother Dazhuang."
"I grew up with Zhaomei, and I'm going to save him."
……
As soon as Village Chief Zhao's words fell, the young people in the village were talking.
Everyone's face was full of excitement.
Bai Zhaomei went to the border to join the army, they were not envious, but the family did not approve of them joining the army.
They also want to go to the border to see the lonely smoke of the desert, see the snow flying outside the plug, and feel the heroic spirit.
Therefore, as soon as I heard that I was going to the border to transport grain, I automatically ignored the hardships of going to the border, and all I thought about was romantic heroism.
Good fellows, if they show up in front of the frontier soldiers with food from the sky, this feat can be boasted of as a family heirloom.
If nothing else, most of them have been farming and living in Shenshu Village for the rest of their lives, and the only chance to go to the border may be this one.
After the village chief finished speaking, he wanted to go to the border with Bai Dazhuang to transport grain, and the young men surrounded Bai Dazhuang in a swarm.
Everyone wants to be a grain hero!
